Something written and sent by Joel and Victoria Osteen:
 
 

Do This in Remembrance

“And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is My body given for you; do this in remembrance of Me’” (Luke 22:19 NIV).

"Taking communion is a powerful reminder and declaration of our covenant with God through the blood of Jesus. When we turn our hearts toward the Father and take communion with a pure heart, we are making a declaration before heaven and earth that we belong to Him. We are showing the whole world that we receive the sacrifice that Jesus made on our behalf. Every time we partake of communion in remembrance of Jesus, we are opening our hearts to the deeper things of God. We are inviting Him to search our hearts and minds and to do a work in our lives.

 "Communion is powerful when we come together during our church services, but it’s just as powerful when you partake of communion at home with your family or even by yourself individually. The important thing is that you keep your heart and mind open to Him and keep a thankful attitude. As you do this in remembrance of Him, God will pour out His blessing on your life. He’ll show you His goodness, and you’ll experience Him in ways you never dreamed! 

"Father in heaven, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus to save me. Thank You for allowing me to be a part of Your kingdom here on earth. I open my heart to You and choose to remember You in communion. In Jesus’ Name. Amen."
